Glass and Ceramics

The Working Group Glass and Ceramics deals with the technology, deterioration, conservation, and restoration of glass and ceramic archaeological, utilitarian, decorative and artistic artifacts and objects. Faience and enamels are included in the materials. To promote conservation, the working group forms networks of experts, including conservators, conservation scientists, and curators. It disseminates information on current conservation research, practice, and education by electronic communication, meetings, and specialty groups (ENAMEL, GLASS DETERIORATION, HISTORY).
